MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Six fire experts, two from Mexico, three from the United States and one from Peru confirmed in their report, submitted to the Attorney General on Thursday, that there was a large controlled fire at the Cocula dump in September 2014.
The report, cited by Mexico News Daily on Friday, revealed that at least 17 adults were burnt at the site and that it was possible that the 43 bodies of disappeared students were incinerated at Cocula.
In February, a report by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team said that it was impossible that 43 students were burnt at the Cocula dump.
According to the February report, the dump in Cocula was the site of multiple fires at various times, but there was no evidence that the remains of at least 19 people found near there belong to the missing students.
In September 2015, the Inter American Commission of Human Rights also said in a report that an independent forensic investigation established that the students could not have been burnt at the dump.
Forty three students disappeared in Mexico’s Guerrero state in September, 2014. They were abducted after participating in a protest against discriminatory hiring and funding practices in the city of Iguala.
